Burnley v Fulham | Saturday 2nd February | 3pm | Turf Moor | #BURFUL
The opposition
- After stylishly securing the Championship title last season, Burnley have found wins hard to come by on their return to the top flight, taking maximum points on just three occasions all season – most recently at Craven Cottage prior to Christmas.
- They have had a tough run of fixtures since that trip to London, taking on Liverpool, Aston Villa and Manchester City without success, though only a stoppage time equaliser from Luton Town denied them victory in their most recent match at home.
- Turf Moor has not been a prosperous ground for Fulham over the years, with our last win there coming in 1951.

Player insight
Bernd Leno knows the challenge Burnley will bring after a tough reverse fixture and reflects on how they have changed as a team over the years.
"It’s a tough place to go, like every away game in the Premier League. The last time I played there, Burnley were more about long balls and set pieces but now I think they're a completely different team.
"The game at the Cottage showed that they are an organised side with a good structure and good players. We know what we can expect and hopefully this time we can get a better result."
